Had a new beer while making dinner for the Fam last night, one from up and coming brewery "Beak" down in deepest Sussex. Goodness, gracious me, it was a real banger, knocking on the door (albeit early) of beer of the year territory. Made with oodles of NZ Nelson Sauvin and US benchmark Citra hops it smelt like pure lemon, grapefruit and lime juice (if there is such a thing!) background white wine vibe, spiky carbonation, perfect balance and an underlying bitterness that keeps you coming back sip after sip. One of those beers that you hope never to reach the bottom of. Luckily I have three cans so I shall be revisiting this later this evening on a zoom call with some mates. A real testament to the rude health of the UK brewing scene, onwards and upwards!
